Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Lee. He did a major surgery on my back and I am brand new. Besides that, he is brutally honest and conservative with surgery. He saved my life. He explains everything you want to know. Best doctor and surgeon I've ever had.

Dr. Lee gave me great emergency surgery care
Dr Lee was very professional, listened to my concerns and fears after surgery. Followed up with me a few days after surgery when I was still in NICU. I feel very fortunate that I was able to get Dr Lee's care.

Excellent surgeon surrounded by an excellent team!
Dr. Lee and the staff did an excellent job of helping me understand my situation, the choices I had, and answering all my questions in a candid and respectful way. Dr. Lee and his whole team are extraordinarily professional and empathetic. I would recommend Dr. Lee to anyone contemplating spine surgery.

There's always a wait to see Dr Max Lee. Today I guess I was the reason since I was squeezed in for my appointment. I always find it hard to get in contact with the offices to make an appointment. Never know which is the correct phone number. It worked out.

Dr. Lee was extremely stressed out because of emergencies occurring very early in the day beyond his control. My appointment did not need any great amount of his time and he agreed on what I suggested for follow up with additional physical therapy for my poor posture, so no harm done by his spending a short amount of time with me. My improvement is up to me to work with the physical therapy team.

Kind Bedside Manner, Miracle Surgery!
Dr. Lee preformed my surgery, I had a large disc herniation and spent months unable to care for myself in excruciating pain. He came highly recommended and the results did not disappoint! I woke up after surgery and my nerve pain was completely gone. I’m finally gaining my life back. He was kind, eager to answer any questions and his entire surgical staff was very helpful and friendly. I have already recommended him to a relative having similar back issues. Thank you for giving me my life back Dr. Lee! I will be forever grateful for you and your support staff for all you do.
